Sustainability policy.

At Best of Scandinavia, we want to create travel experiences that take people, nature, and local communities into account. We work to ensure our trips contribute positively to the destinations we visit and to make it easy for our guests to travel more responsibly. Sustainability is a natural part of our operations and guides our decisions regarding trips, suppliers, and partnerships.

Our responsibility 

We comply with applicable legislation in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and other countries where we operate. We work according to high ethical standards and do not accept:

  • Corruption or bribery

  • Discrimination

  • Forced labor or human trafficking

  • Violations of human rights

  • Sexual exploitation of children in tourism

We expect our partners to share these values.

 

Our employees

We want to be a safe and inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and given the opportunity to develop.

We offer:

  • Safe and fair working conditions

  • Equal opportunities regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, or other background

  • Professional development, including training in sustainable tourism

 

Environmental responsibility

We continuously work to reduce our own environmental impact by:

  • Reducing energy use and waste

  • Limiting paper consumption and choosing sustainable purchases

  • Sorting and recycling waste

  • Encouraging digital ways of working and remote meetings whenever possible

We follow the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling resources.

 

Sustainable travel

When planning our trips, we prioritize options with a lower climate impact.
This means, among other things, that we:

  • Recommend trains and public transport whenever possible

  • Limit domestic flights when better alternatives exist

  • Choose transport adapted to the group's size

  • Inform our guests about how they can travel more sustainably

 

Our suppliers

We primarily collaborate with companies that share our commitment to sustainability.
We prioritize suppliers who:

  • Are locally owned or create local job opportunities

  • Offer fair working conditions

  • Actively work with environmental and sustainability issues

  • Hold recognized sustainability certifications when available

 

Accommodations and activities

We primarily choose accommodations and activities that:

  • Take responsibility for the environment and climate

  • Respect local culture and traditions

  • Contribute to the local economy

  • Take animal welfare into account

  • Protect natural and cultural environments

We do not offer activities that involve the exploitation of people or animals.

 

Local communities

We want tourism to create positive effects for the places we visit. Therefore, we encourage our guests to:

  • Shop locally

  • Respect local customs and traditions

  • Show consideration for nature and wildlife

  • Avoid products and souvenirs that are illegal or harmful to the environment

     

Communication

We communicate openly and honestly about our sustainability work. We avoid greenwashing and only describe what we actually implement or can verify. We inform our guests about how they can make more sustainable choices before and during their trip.

 

Follow-up

We continuously work to develop our sustainability efforts and regularly follow up on our goals. As a member of Travelife, we use their guidelines and tools to develop and improve our sustainability work over time.
